In order to open a video that someone shares with you in the app, you need to find the id of the video on odysee, then type it (letter for letter) in the app search bar.

Steps to reproduce

1.Open an odysee or lbry.tv
2.There is no prompt or option to open the media in the app

Expected behaviour

The media should be able to be opened in the lbry app

Actual behaviour

The browser gives no option to 'open in app'

System Configuration

  • Device:Samsung galaxy s10+
  • Android version:11
